Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to storage of notebook
computers, and particularly to a cabinet for receiving and charging
power to notebook computers which can make the notebook computers
therein are arranged orderly and the space can be used efficiently.
Moreover, the cabinet has a power unit which can charge power to
the notebook computers therein.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Notebook computers have become a trend for the application
of the computers due to the convenience and compact size thereof.
Some offices have many notebook computers. As a result, there is a
necessity for a cabinet body who can store notebook computers
massively.
[0003] In one prior art, a cabinet body is provided. The cabinet
can locate a plurality of notebook computers. However the structure
cannot provide a space for locating a plurality of notebook
computers orderly. It is often that the notebook computers therein
are arranged disorderly.
[0004] Furthermore, power charging is important to the notebook
computers, while no prior art cabinet can provide the function of
supplying power to the notebook computers.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is
to provide a cabinet for receiving and charging power to notebook
computers which can make the notebook computers therein are
arranged orderly and the space can be used efficiently. Moreover,
the cabinet has a power unit which can charge power to the notebook
computers therein.
[0006] To achieve above objects, the present invention provides a
cabinet for receiving and charging power to notebook computers
comprising: a cabinet body; a receiving space formed in the cabinet
body; a plurality of drawers arranged longitudinally in the
receiving space; the drawers being movable; each door being
installed with a plurality of retainers; a power supply portion
having a power source and at least one receptacle which is
connected to the power source; the power source being connected
externally to other power supply; a transformer receiving portion
formed at a backside of each door which is formed as a receiving
space; and a control portion connected to the power supply portion
for turning off the power unit at a setting time. Each retainer has
an approximate V shape so that the arrangement of these retainers
provide a wavelike structure with a plurality of tips and a
plurality of pits for receiving at least one notebook computer. A
periphery of the cabinet body is formed with a plurality of heat
dissipating holes for dissipating heat.
[0007] The various objects and advantages of the present invention
will be more readily understood from the following detailed
description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0008] FIG. 1 is a front schematic view of the cabinet for
receiving and charging power to notebook computers of the present
invention.
[0009] FIG. 2 is a backside view of the cabinet for receiving and
charging power to notebook computers of the present invention.
[0010] FIG. 3 shows the application of the present invention.
[0011] FIG. 4 shows another application of the present
invention.
[0012] FIG. 5 shows that the cabinet body of the present invention
is in a closing state.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0013] In order that those skilled in the art can further
understand the present invention, a description will be provided in
the following in details. However, these descriptions and the
appended drawings are only used to cause those skilled in the art
to understand the objects, features, and characteristics of the
present invention, but not to be used to confine the scope and
spirit of the present invention defined in the appended claims.
[0014] Referring to FIG. 1, the cabinet for receiving and charging
power to notebook computers according to the present invention is
illustrated. The present invention has the following elements.
[0015] A cabinet body 1 has an approximately rectangular shape.
Each of a front side and a rear side of the cabinet body 1 has a
door 11. A bottom of the cabinet body 1 has a plurality of wheels
12 which rotate freely. Each door 11 has a handle 13. A topside of
the cabinet body 1 has a stop pad 14 for providing friction force
as an notebook computer 4 is placed thereon. A periphery of the
cabinet body 1 is formed with a plurality of heat dissipating holes
15 for dissipating heat.
[0016] A receiving space 2 is formed in the cabinet body 1. A
plurality of drawers 21 arranged longitudinally in the receiving
space 2. The drawers 21 are drawable. Each door 11 is installed
with a plurality of retainers 22. Each retainer 22 has an
approximate V shape so that the arrangement of these retainers 22
provides a wavelike structure with a plurality of tips and a
plurality of pits. The notebook computer 4 can be placed in the V
shape area. The V shape structure has the advantage of retaining
the notebook computer 4 in a stand state.
[0017] Referring to FIG. 2 the structure of the power unit 3 is
illustrated. The power unit 3 is installed at a backside of the
cabinet body 1. The power unit 3 has the following elements.
[0018] A power supply portion 31 has a power source 311 and at
least one receptacle 312 which is connected to the power source
311. The power source 311 is connected externally to other power
supply in the building for supplying external power to the cabinet
body 1. In FIG. 4, it is illustrated that the power source 311 is
connected to a receptacle 6 through a power wire 5 and a plug 51
connected to the power wire 5.
[0019] A transformer receiving portion 32 is formed at a backside
of each door 11 which is formed as a receiving space. A plurality
of through holes 321 is formed at a bottom of the transformer
receiving portion 32 for locating the transformer 7 of the notebook
computer 4. The plug 8 of the transformer 7 can be plugged into the
receptacle 312 for getting power from the power source 311.
[0020] A control portion 33 is connected to the power supply
portion 31 for turning off the power unit 3 at a setting time so as
to prevent the notebook computer 4 from damage due to over-power
(too much power is supplied to the notebook computer 4). The heat
dissipating holes 15 serve to dissipate heat due to the operation
of the power unit 3.
[0021] Referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, the application of the present
invention is illustrated. FIG. 3 shows that the receiving of the
notebook computers 4 in the drawers 21. FIG. 4 shows the
arrangement of the power unit 3. FIG. 5 shows the cabinet body 1 in
a close state.
[0022] The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious
that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not
to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the
present invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious
